The Bell 206 JetRanger V18 model is accurately crafted, with dimensions almost identical to the original aircraft (within 3-4% scale), and features intricate textures. This versatile model comes in various formats catering to diverse users, while boasting numerous liveries. It's perfect for in-flight or airport ground animations, videos, or simulations, and can enhance airport scenes effectively. The model showcases animated rotor and tail-rotor movements and features a semi-detailed cockpit with a control yoke, cyclic, rudder pedals, seating, and instrument panel. The Bell 206 is a two-blade helicopter that initially emerged as a light observation aircraft for the US Army but was not selected. It was later redesigned for commercial use and adopted by the US Army as an observation helicopter (OH-58 Kiowa). The first flight of the Bell 206 took place in 1966, marking a significant milestone when Ross Perot and Jay Cobern circumnavigated the globe in just 29 days and 3 hours aboard a Bell 206 named 'Spirit of Texas.' This was the first-ever round-the-world flight accomplished by a helicopter.
